Merci beaucoup pour l'équipe du Château des ducs de Bretagne Musée d’histoire de Nantes @chateaunantes #Château #otgo

EXPOSITION:
Contes sur l'infini 05 — 28 Avril 2024
Otgo, artiste de Mongolie Œuvres de 1998-2024
Entre tradition et modernité

Château des ducs de Bretagne
Musée d’histoire de Nantes
4, place Marc Elder 44 000 — Nantes, France

Dans le cadre de l’exposition Gengis Khan. Comment les Mongols ont changé le monde.

Le travail artistique d’Otgo est marqué par une double influence : les étendues infinies de la steppe mongole et la tradition de la peinture miniature. Suite à son installation en Europe, à Berlin, il a pu donner une autre ampleur à son oeuvre par l’usage de nouveaux formats, couleurs et motifs. Ainsi, aujourd’hui, les peintures d‘Otgo témoignent d’une profonde empathie entre l’homme et une nature intemporelle et d’une recherche d’harmonie, dans laquelle la préservation des ressources naturelles est essentielle.

Né en 1981 à Ulaanbaatar, Otgo a étudié la peinture traditionnelle mongole notamment la miniature au sein de monastères bouddhistes.

Diplômé de l’Institut d’art de Berlin, il fonde dans cette ville la première galerie dirigée par un Mongol en dehors de la Mongolie et expose aujourd’hui dans de nombreux pays occidentaux.

L’artiste mongol Otgonbayar Ershuu, dit Otgo sera présent tout au long du mois d’avril à Nantes.

Au sein de l’exposition que le château lui consacre, il produira une œuvre originale devant les publics, qui pourront interagir avec lui. Il fera notamment la démonstration de sa technique et de sa philosophie, qui sont étroitement liées.

Artiste contemporain atypique, Otgo aime en effet être observé lorsqu’il peint. Dans l’un de ses ateliers à Berlin, il dispose d’une grande fenêtre sur la rue. Les gens peuvent ainsi l’observer ou lui rendre visite à tout moment. En 2022, il réalisait déjà sur ce principe l’exposition A WORLD BEYOND avec un atelier ouvert en Suisse. Pendant un mois, il a peint un tableau avec plus de 200 visiteurs, au milieu de ses autres créations. taken in Château des ducs de Bretagne by @otgo_art

A memorial for the world’s slaughtered penguins..

„The climate change sets off the extinction of plant and animal species, which disappear as the first victims of human wrongdoing. However, humans’ existence is also endangered. With the ice, it, too, will gradually melt away. It pains me to see how nature suffers and this is the story my Antarctic-Panorama reveals. I have been touched greatly by the fate of the penguins. There is something genuinely human about their fate … We have to do something for the penguins! The Antarctic Panorama is a highly critical and sorrowful picture. The colors are weeping, the ice and snow is melting away with the penguins.“ OtGO

Antarctic Panorama by OTGO 2015-2016, acryl on canvas, 300 x 900 cm, Berlin. The 300 by 900 cm tall panorama painting consists of 12 equal-sized single paintings, each measuring 150 by 150 cm

The history of Native Americans and the transatlantic slave trade

More than ten thousand years ago, at the end of the global ice age, the people who settled in North America from Central Asia, or as we say, the Indians, had the same origin as the Mongols. Ethnic characteristics, such as face, body, beliefs, culture, customs and lifestyle in harmony with nature are similar between Native Americans and Mongols.

Before the Europeans arrived in America at the end of the 15th century, there lived about 50–60 million indigenous people with more than a hundred different languages and cultures in more than a thousand different tribes. Since then, the culture of the indigenous population has been destroyed by centuries of aggression and it is a tragic story that in the 19th century, due to wars and violence, they were decimated to only about one to two thousand people.

In addition, there is a study that says that at the time of the first arrival of the Europeans, more than 60 million wild "bison" cattle lived on the plains of North America.
The Indians never hunted more bison than they needed to survive. Not only used they their food, but as well the important utensils of the natives' lives were also made from their leather.

The Europeans exterminated the bison as a military strategy to inflict suffering and anger on the natives, as well as to deprive them of food and livelihood. Later, when the railroad was built, this terror was intensified by special precautions and large herds were shot ‘en masse‘ from trains, which is why these animals were exterminated to one or two thousand, almost like the natives.

Today, the bison has become a symbol of America and has multiplied to about 350,000 specimens in protected areas. Attempts to enslave the natives in their own country and make them work in agriculture failed. They were not suited to this work and rebelled. They also often suffered from infectious diseases brought in by the Europeans. This led to slaves being imported from Africa. These were usually physically stronger and were forced to work outside for long periods of time. They also had no opportunity to escape..

„Inspiră... expiră... inspiră... expiră – trasează o linie. Repetă”- aceasta este practica artistică meditativă a lui Otgonbayar Ershuu, cunoscut sub numele scurt de OtGO. El este unul dintre cei mai remarcabili artiști din Mongolia și trăiește la Berlin de aproximativ douăzeci de ani. Acest fapt i-a lărgit experiențele culturale și a avut un impact și asupra bazei materiale a creației sale artistice. Cu toate acestea, nucleul său spiritual rămâne ferm înrădăcinat în patrimoniul cultural al Mongoliei.

Descoperiți în acest scurt video procesul de creație al lucrărilor și vă așteptăm la muzeu să le admirați pe viu! taken in Muzeul Național de Artă al Moldovei by @otgo_art

A colorful Cabinet of Curiosities has opened in Valletta
A new exhibition brings together Mongolian philosophies and the vibrancy of the art scene in Berlin with a gentle infusion of Malta

“My colours speak and tell stories,” explains OtGo. “There is no single focus because everything is interconnected, networked, and interdependent. My paintings are fluid therefore, a constant transition from one moment to the next. It’s important to be in the here and now.”
